Shannon Trimboli

Nature isn’t just “out there” in some pristine, far-off location. It’s all around us, including right outside our doors. Hi, my name is Shannon Trimboli and I’m here to help busy homeowners in the eastern U.S. create thriving backyard ecosystems they can enjoy and be proud of. Join us as we ignite our curiosity and natural wonder, explore our yards and communities, and improve our local pollinator and wildlife habitat.
